Adipose tissue tumors

Lipomas, unlike adults, are infrequent in children. Lipomas are en children are associated to some syndromes. It is more common to find deep hemangioma lipoid degeneration, lipoblastomas or lipofibromas that lipomas. Sarcomas are rare but exist in childhood. One way to study them is with the images (magnetic resonance imaging), but when faced with a tumor of uncertain characteristics, it is always better to remove it and wait for the biopsy, to know what we are dealing with.
